What to else replace along with a new engine?
Ok, so I finally settled on a local builder here for my short block, and am going with a J&C enterprises new head. Here's a running list I've got going to replace when the new engine goes in:
Water Pump (Hesco)
All hoses
Tube part number 53007978
195º thermostat (any brand?)
Radiator (CSF 3 ROW or ChampionCC1193)
Antifreeze (Green + Distilled water 50/50)
Fan Clutch (OEM HD)
Fel-Pro gaskets on All (head, valve, oil pan)
Break-in Oil (what brand?)
WIX filter
----
front pump seal
spark plugs
exhaust header (ebay aftermarket?)
engine mounts
serp belt.
Let me know what else I am missing and recommendations on brands, etc. Thanks!

free gdr was talking about the front pump seal in the trans if its an auto, and put a clutch in it if its manual...
spark plugs, exhaust header, engine mounts depending on condition, serp belt.

My personal preferences:
Water Pump (FlowKooler? or other?) Most name-brand rebuilds are OK.
All hoses
195º thermostat (any brand?) OEM Mopar or Superstat
Radiator (OEM replacement?) NAPA
Antifreeze (Green + Distilled water 50/50) - (Or should I do the Dexcool?) NO Dex - use green + distilled water
Fan Clutch (OEM HD)
Fel-Pro gaskets on All (head, valve, oil pan)
Break-in Oil (what brand?)
WIX filter good choice
----
front pump seal
spark plugs Champion or NGK
exhaust header (ebay aftermarket?)
engine mounts
serp belt.

Replace all three mounts (unless their new) and the header. Stay away from the ATP header. I just installed one on my rig and it was a P.I.T.A! The actuall install wasnt that bad, but the leaking collector due to a bad weld kinda got me pissy!
